Jenny: I am in the process of setting up a company to provde these services. You have to get your NPI number and become a medicare provider. I am then linking mine to my LLC for liability. You then can either bill or have a billing company do it for you. You also need to have a policy and procedure manual. Where are you located?

I have contracted my OT services out in the past but it has always been to clinics or long term care facilities. I have been asked to do some in-home OT by a doctor but I will be billing it out on my own and not going through a home health company. I understand all of the in-home issues involved (as I previously provided outpatient but in-home OT services through a clinic.) My OT practice is focused on providing low vision rehabilitation. I'm mainly wondering about how I begin doing my own billing and what the requirements are regarding where I keep patient files. Is there anyone out there who is doing this and would let me pepper them with questions now and then?
